Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce divided
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake directly on oven rack for 50-60 minutes until very tender.
  2. Let sweet potatoes cool for 10 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch attached to the skin.
  3. Mix the scooped sweet potato flesh with shredded chicken, 3/4 cup BBQ sauce, and half of the cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the sweet potato skins with melted butter and place on a baking sheet. Fill each skin generously with the chicken mixture.
  5. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted. Turn on broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to get the cheese golden and bubbly.
  6. Drizzle with remaining BBQ sauce and top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, cilantro, and green onions before serving.
